Fantastic Four Movie
We recently rented and watched Fantastic Four. I hated Spider Man and then loved Spider Man 2 and 3, so I figured I would give comic book movies another chance. Fantastic Four was a decent movie. It had good flow, a nice and friendly end, and of course a …

Beethoven the movie
I watched Beethoven the movie last night. This movie is pretty flawed but a decent time overall, if you are into dog comedies. It stars Charles Grodin and is produced by comedy legend Ivan Reitman. It came out in 1991.
I think overall it is most notable for a few …
The Cannonball Run
The Cannonball Run is almost a remake of The Gumball Rally, an earlier and much better movie about people who participate in illegal road rallies across the country. These rallies have no rules — just get to the appointed destination first and win the prize.
This movie is a …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Film (2009)
I grew up reading Harry Potter books in my formative years back in the 90’s. The time when the whole Harry Potter franchise was less frenzied and the books were just lurking somewhere to be discovered. My devotion to the books reached a fanatical stage that I …

I watched the movie Kung Fu Dunk on DVD last week. My dad is an avid collector of DVDs and has practically all the movies in the past 3 years. Among all the new movies that my dad had just purchased, my boyfriend chose to watch this one. …
The X-Flies: I Want to Believe
I enjoyed The X-Files: I Want to Believe more than any of the X-Files television series I watched. I was happy to see the characters Dana Scully, Fox Mulder and Assistant Director Walter Skinner being played by the original cast. I think it takes a lot away from the …
Just Friends
Another movie that I just watched recently along with Mall Cop with Kevin James was the movie ‘Just Friends’ starring Ryan Reynolds, who plays a chubby teenager with braces and a desperate crush on his best friend who he has known since the sixth grade. Humiliated beyond repair at a …
Interstellar, movie
As a big fan of science fiction with cosmic themes, I decided to watch Interstellar despite the busy exam period. In the end, the movie absolutely worth the ticket price. If you are also a big fan of science fiction, do not read my review anymore and go watch …

“Sweet Home Alabama” is the movie where we see Reese Witherspoon in one of here best on screen interpretation. The success of this flick, apart from having a great script, is the great level of acting in it. With actors such as Josh Lucas, Patrick Dempsey and Candice Bergen …

The movie Turner and Hootch
What adult does not remember Turner and Hootch. Although I am not necessarily a Tom Hanks fan, I really enjoyed this movie. It was so cute to me becuase it did a great job of teachong about overcoming difficulties and the curve balls that life throws at you.
Hootch was …
Hancock
After watching the movie “Hancock”, you will understand immediately while Will Smith expressed interest in interpreting this role. “Hancock” is a superhero movie without the superhero clichés.

Jaws
Jaws is probably one of the scariest movies ever made. And Jaws is also the reason I’m scared to go in the water when I’m at the beach. This movie can really scare people and really make you feel uncomfortable. I really did enjoy the music in jaws. The …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010 Film)
The 2010 film “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” was one in which I was leery about. Recently Nicholas Cage’s films have been sort of a letdown, but not this one. His co-star Jay Baruchel has a quirky sort of scholarly charm that makes him the perfect hero of our film. We …
Cider House Rules (1999)
“The Cider House Rules” is a 1999 Miramax movie, a production company that I find traditionally does excellent movies. At 116 minutes the English language movie is just about the perfect length. I never felt like it was padded to occupy more screen time nor did I feel cheated …
Amadeus - The Director’s Cut
One of the most brilliantly executed films that I have ever seen has to be the movie Amadeus, starring F. Murry Abraham and Tom Hulce. I was only a child when it first came out, but even then, I was fascinated by the antics of a child-like Mozart who dazzled …
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service with George Lazenby, Diana Rigg, and Telly Savalas.
I had never seen this film, but I always wondered why this was Lazenby’s only movie as James Bond. Well I now know why. This rough looking big eared Scot was not …

They certainly make some weird movies these days… A dead woman?s spirit possesses a house; the house comes alive on Halloween, with its windows serving as eyes, door as mouth, and a long red carpet as tongue. It swallows people, especially kids. The woman, you see, was morbidly obese, …

Jonah Hex movie
I just saw Jonah Hex, and my exact thoughts of seeing the movie: “what the?” Jonah Hex is one of those movies where almost all things predictable culminates. The story is about (guess who?) Jonah Hex, a soldier accused of betraying his regimen and killing Jeb Turnbull, his best …

Snakes on a Plane, David Ellis Movie
‘Snakes on a Plane’ (SoaP) is one of the internet phenomenon in the beginning. Long before released, this movie becomes the subject of debate and discussion, which is quite warm. And it is quite a trick successfully. ‘SoaP’ successfully occupies the first rank Box Office when released.

Movie The DaVinci Code
I was apprehensive about watching ‘The DaVinci Code’ as books turned into movies rarely translate well to the big screen. I must admit, though, that I was pleasantly surprised.
Tom Hanks stars as Robert Langdon, a professor of cryptology, who is the chief suspect in the murder of Jacques …

Evan Almighty
This is an amazingly respectful movie on a spiritual theme - respectful to God and faith. The title clearly hints on Bruce Almighty that had come out in 2003, but it is not a sequel; just a similar story. The similarity is made even closer with the same actor, …
Movie: Crush
As I mentioned in another review, my wife and I finally had some time without the kids last night and decided to spend some time watching some, well, movies that would be classified as steamy romance.

Where It’s At movie
Where It’s At is another movie from the sixties about the generation gap, in an odd sort of way. In truth, I don’t like this movie. It’s just a little too off-beat for me. I didn’t like the characters, I don’t like their evolution, and there’s not …

“Despicable Me” the Movie

Alice in Wonderland movie
Tim Burton is a genius. I need to state my opinion on that. I have loved most of his movies, and his collaboration with Johnny Depp, is one of my favorite actor/director combinations. I also need to state that I have a deep affection for Lewis Carroll and the …
The Dark Knight
After hearing how good it was, I finally got around to watching the 2nd Batman movie, “The Dark Knight”. I thought it was well done. It definitely wasn’t just “thrown together” and had plenty of twists and turns to keep me entertained. I think that Christian …
